What to serve with lamb breakfast sausage
- Served as part of a breakfast platter with scrambled eggs, oven-baked beef bacon, homemade biscuits, and fresh fruit.
- Make breakfast sandwiches with buttermilk biscuits, eggs, and cheese.
- Added to salads or grain bowls.
- Instead of making patties brown the meat to make sausage gravy like in my chicken sausage gravy recipe
Pro Tips
- Divide the sausage mixture into evenly sized balls then press them out to make uniform patties.
- Flatten the patties out a little bit more than want, because the meat will shrink up a bit while cooking.
- Rub your hands with a little bit of oil before rolling and shaping the patties so the meat mixture doesn’t stick to your hands as much.
- Use plastic gloves so you don’t have to touch raw meat.
